Morning and Evening Prayers

Morning and Evening Prayers

A beautiful book of timeless prayers that speak to contemporary concerns In this little book, Cornelius Plantinga offers a month’s worth of prayers, with two for each day: one for the morning, looking forward, and one for the evening, looking back. Each prayer expresses some essential Christian longing on behalf of self and others―for faith, hope, love, wisdom, gratitude, peace―yet also makes space for any state of heart or mind by rejoicing with all who rejoice and weeping with all who weep. Earnest and unassuming, Morning and Evening Prayers is for anyone seeking fellowship with God―from those who have prayed their whole lives to those who have yet to find the words. “The prayers of others―like the ones in this collection―can be the way to stay grounded in God and grow in communion with Jesus Christ. [Plantinga] has put together a month of morning and evening prayers that echo the Psalms, as well as the prayers of Scripture and the ancient tradition. . . . Enormously helpful to those who want to continue in the way of Jesus.” ― The Presbyterian Outlook Cornelius Plantinga  is president emeritus of Calvin Theological Seminary and has also served as a senior research fellow at the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship. His many publications include  Beyond Doubt ,  Not the Way It’s Supposed to Be , Engaging God’s World , Reading for Preaching , and Morning and Evening Prayers .
